Thank you! I think this map is actually quite balanced if you get a few extra bid with the allies. If you don’t keep the momentum with the axis, you will just see your income getting slowly eaten away. It’s hard to turn around a tough start with the axis, like the one you had. I’ve found out that myself :)

Roger. Sent ya a response :)

OK, first thing I will do is to replace the triplea.jar with the prerelease version!  :-)

No big news of course, as most of you will know, but I wondered why there is no link to the rulebook of Spring 1942 in this subforum.
At least not a stickied one.

May be it is because Wizards/AH made them available to the public some time after the release of the game.

Anyway, here is the link to the Spring 1942 rulebook:

direct link to the PDF:

or a smaller file from this website:

Here is the direct link to the official FAQ:

Just to bring it to attention:

In AA50 - when using Heavy Bombers for SBR - TripleA adds +1 to the best result of the two rolls, when it should only be
“You roll two dice for each bomber and select the best result when you attack or make a strategic bombing raid.”

I will try to report that on tripleadev, too.

(In Global 1940 this extra +1 is not added, although in both games “LHTR Heavy Bombers” is marked in the Game Options.)

I have Pacific 1940 2nd ed. game that I bought in May '13 or thereabouts. Convoy rules are on pp. 22-23. They read like the Europe/L.Harris rules that Gargantua has cited: units roll dice, 2 for a/c and subs, and 1 for others. Rolls of “3” or less are tallied, etc. Exactly like my Europe '40 2nd ed. rulebook in game I purchased the same day.

The Pac. '40 2nd ed. rulebook in A&A.org / Resources section is like the one that came with my game.

I did look at Avalon Hill site for Pac. '40 2nd ed. rulebook and it reads the way that Gargantua is citing for Pacific rules, units do an amount of convoy ipc damage without rolling dice. Looked again at cover of that book, however, and it does not indicate “2nd Edition”. Seems like a bad link at AH site. Rulebook link on Pacific '40 2nd ed. page opens 1st ed. book?

Also confirmed that my Pacific rulebook on pg. 10 says that China is not subject to convoy disruption, as P@nther previously noted.

In fact it was only one border line to change.
First I changed it in the bastile map, adding a new line some pixels to the right of the old line in pure black and then erazing the old line.
Then I reconstructed the relief-art. In paint.net I added a new layer to the base map pasting the relief art to it. Then I copy-pasted the new border line to the relief art. From the relief art I removed the old border line using the clone-stamp.

Then I ran through the Map Builder tools such as polygon grabber etc. to implement the changes to the relevant txt-files.

Just take a look at the files to see the results.

People playing this map should keep in mind until this will be probably fixed:

On the original map - heading north - SZ 29 is adjacent to SZ 32 and 31. SZ 30 is adjacent to SZ 31 and 37 (and not to SZ 32).

Upload test [1941test.tsvg](EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir ‘/var/srv/nodebb/public/uploads/files’)

Probably, yeah.
It was fun nonetheless, cheers.

Thank you! It was a pleasure to play with you.
Just contact me if you feel like playing another game (LotR or other) at any time.
:-)

Will have a look.

FYI: please use the official sourceforge bug tracker for all future bugs.

Subs rolling separately is a minor issue in low luck games.  If you have 1 ss 1 dd 2 bb against a fleet with a dd–the total punch is 12, but it’s quite possible to only get 1 hit.  It would be an improvement if subs are lumped in with the gross total in that scenario (eg only if the enemy has a dd that negates the surprise shot).

Yeah, I think the Central Powers need to be very decisive in their moves early on making them very difficult to play for a new player. The biggest thing is that the Central Powers should have gained control of the Med early, but they were unable to do that. Also, not focusing on Russia in your first few turns didn’t help either.

Good game though. This is my first time playing this game, and it seems very interesting.

First posting updated to the new stable version of TripleA (1.7.0.3).

Ja, hat wirklich Spass gemacht.

Und Napoleonic Empires habe ich natürlich nicht vergessen.
Ich komme gern darauf zurück und melde mich dann!
:-)

Danke für das Spiel.

Du bekommst die meisten Stellen stabilisiert, aber es gibt 2 gefährliche Stellen:

Der Brückenkopf in Frankreich ist ziemlich stark und ich habe auch schon Nachschub von dir vernichtet. Ankara ist für Italien ein großes Problem.

Allerdings ist in beiden Fällen England dafür verantwirtlich, daher ist es schwer, beides auszunutzen.

Mit Würfeln bist du auf dieser Karte als Achse meiner Meinung nach klar im Nachteil. Ich biete dir aber gern eine Revanche mit Würfeln an. Gern auch auf einer anderen Karte.

Im übrigen hast du Recht: NWO benötigt genaue Planung an vielen Stellen.
